I just finished watching Starship. My only major complaint (which really isn't even all that major): compared to the song at the end of Act 1, The Triumphant Reprise of "I Wanna Be", the final song was a bit of a let-down.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

I feel like with February and Bugette, they were trying to make it si that Joey Richter's character doesn't fall for the nerdy girlagain, but it just felt kind of forced because February and bug has No Accounting for Taste.

I bought the Starship soundtrack. I'm so happy. I think Joey is better vocally in Starship than in Me And My Dick, because Starship's score doesn't push his high range as much. So yay for that.

It's not that, I don't think. He's just become much, much stronger vocally. You don't hear him solo that much in the Potter musicals, but in Me And My Dick he can barely sing. I'd be shocked if he hasn't been taking lessons. And his voice is now dreamy. Also, dang, I already knew Dylan Saunders could sing but WOW. Same for Brian Holden and Lauren Lopez. As for February (now I have to learn the names of all these new actors... gah!), she couldn't sing, but she was funny sometimes and she was only in one song so it was okay.

As for the show as a whole, it was fantastic. Though at the beginning I don't think it was as entertaining as their past shows (despite having way better production values), by the second half of the first act or so I was completely into it.

Starship was awesome. It was obvious they weren't exactly HUGE science fiction nerds, but I still really appreciated that they did know enough to poke a little fun at the standard tropes. And although bug-type aliens living in a communal hive society is hardly a new idea, I like how they played it. They were clearly having a lot of fun making it as gross as possible and yet at the same time making it familiar and even inviting in some ways.

Oh and it had catchy songs and was funny and sweet too, but it's Team Starkid so I was expecting that.

Also I can't even tell you how much I love Lauren Lopez. Why is she so awesome? The rest of the cast is fantastic too, but srsly guise.

Oh yeah, and god damn can Dylan sing. I definitely was not expecting it, given I'd only seen him as Dumbledore before. His performance of "Kick it Up a Notch" blew me away. He really sold that Villain Song for every cent it was worth.

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.

Yeah, I know she was extremelyThe Ditz, but the bad stuff that happened to her (and the awful life that some stuff implies that she led before) honestly makes up for it and makes her not just a good character, but an adorable character for me. ...maybe her hatebase is just a product of Team Starkid's largely female banbase.
